As we enter the Holiday season full swing, I hope all of you have peaceful and joy filled celebrations however that may look. It's a time to focus on gratitude and thanks and I am especially appreciative of all my Rotary friends both near and far. 
This project is one that I am striving to have all our clubs in our district embrace by erecting one pole in each community. There are Peace Poles all over the world and as you travel we all seem to look for where a local Rotary meeting might be and attend it and I have stumbled across a number of these poles in my travels by asking those clubs I visit if they have one.
I am happy to come do a Peace Pole program at your club and talk about the value and benefit behind this project.
I am also seeking club members who might be interested in being on the District Peace Committee with this project being our focus.
As your District Peace Chair, I wanted to let you know I have done a few programs at other clubs regarding the Peace Pole Project. This is a very worthy and meaningful project for a club to consider and it's a very low cost endeavor as well. We have 2 clubs undertaking erecting a Peace Pole in their community.
I have included a photo of what a Peace Pole looks like.
